Kisha fanya hiyo maskani iwe na mapazia kumi; ifanye ya nguo ya kitani nzuri ya kusokota, pamoja na nyuzi za rangi ya samawi, na ya zambarau, na nyekundu, pamoja na makerubi; kazi ya fundi stadi.
“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.
2
Urefu wa kila pazia utakuwa dhiraa ishirini na nane, na upana wa kila pazia utakuwa dhiraa nne; mapazia yote yatakuwa ya kipimo kimoja.
Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide—all curtains the same size.
3
Mapazia matano yataungwa pamoja, hili na hili; na mapazia matano mengine yataungwa pamoja, hili na hili.
Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.
4
Kisha utafanya tanzi za rangi ya samawi upande wa mwisho wa pazia moja katika ule upindo wa fungu lake, vivyo utafanya upande wa mwisho wa ile pazia iliyo, katika fungu la pili.
Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.
5
Fanya matanzi hamsini katika pazia moja, na matanzi hamsini katika upande wa mwisho wa ile pazia iliyo katika kuungana kwa pili; hizo tanzi zitaelekeana.
Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.
6
Kisha ufanye vifungo hamsini vya dhahabu, na kuunganya hayo mapazia pamoja kwa vile vifungo; na hiyo maskani itakuwa ni moja.
Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.
7
Nawe fanya mapazia ya singa za mbuzi yawe hema juu ya maskani; fanya mapazia kumi na moja.
You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.
8
Urefu wa kila pazia utakuwa dhiraa thelathini, na upana wa kila pazia utakuwa dhiraa nne; hayo mapazia kumi na moja yatakuwa ya kipimo kimoja.
Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
9
Kisha utaunganya mapazia matano mbali, na mapazia sita mbali, na lile pazia la sita utalipeta hapo upande wa mbele wa ile hema.
Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.
10
Fanya tanzi hamsini upande wa mwisho wa pazia lile lililo la mwisho katika hayo yaliyounganywa pamoja, na tanzi hamsini upande wa mwisho wa lile pazia lililo nje katika hayo ya pili yaliyounganywa pamoja.
Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.
11
Tena ufanye vifungo hamsini vya shaba, na kuvitia vile vifungo katika zile tanzi, na kuiunganya ile hema pamoja, ili iwe hema moja.
Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.
12
Na kipande kile kilichosalia, kile kiangukacho, cha yale mapazia ya hema, ile nusu ya pazia iliyosalia, itaanguka huko upande wa nyuma wa maskani.
As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.
13
Na hiyo dhiraa moja upande mmoja, na ile dhiraa moja upande wa pili, ya urefu wa mapazia ya hema uliosalia, zitaanguka katika ubavu wa maskani upande huu na upande huu, ili kuifunika.
And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.
14
Nawe fanya kifuniko cha ile hema, cha ngozi za kondoo waume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu, na juu yake kifuniko cha ngozi za pomboo.
Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.
15
Nawe fanya hizo mbao za maskani za mti wa mshita, zenye kusimama.
You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
16
Kila ubao utakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa kumi, na upana wake kila ubao utakuwa dhiraa moja na nusu.
Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
17
Kila ubao utakuwa na ndimi mbili, zenye kuunganywa huu na huu; ndivyo utakavyozifanya mbao zote za maskani.
Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
18
Kisha ufanye zile mbao za maskani, mbao ishirini kwa upande wa kusini kuelekea kusini.
Construct twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,
19
Nawe ufanye matako arobaini ya fedha chini ya zile mbao ishirini, matako mawili chini ya ubao mmoja, kupokea zile ndimi zake mbili, na matako mawili chini ya ubao mwingine kupokea zile ndimi zake mbili;
with forty silver bases under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.
20
na upande wa pili wa maskani, upande wa kaskazini, mbao ishirini;
For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames
21
na matako yake ya fedha arobaini; matako mawili chini ya ubao mmoja, na matako mawili chini ya ubao mwingine.
and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.
22
Kisha ufanye mbao sita kwa ajili ya upande wa nyuma wa maskani kuelekea magharibi.
Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,
23
Tena ufanye mbao mbili kwa ajili ya hizo pembe za maskani zilizo upande wa nyuma.
and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,
24
Upande wa chini zitakuwa ni mbili mbili; vivyo zitaungwa pamoja mbao pacha hata ncha ya juu katika pete ya kwanza; zote mbili ndivyo zitakavyokuwa; zitakuwa kwa ajili ya hizo pembe mbili.
coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners.
25
Mbao zitakuwa ni nane, na matako yake ya fedha, matako kumi na sita; matako mawili chini ya ubao mmoja, na matako mawili chini ya ubao wa pili.
So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
26
Nawe fanya mataruma ya mti wa mshita; mataruma matano kwa ajili ya mbao za upande mmoja wa maskani,
You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
27
na mataruma matano kwa ajili ya mbao za upande wa pili wa maskani, na mataruma matano kwa ajili ya mbao za upande wa maskani ulio nyuma kuelekea magharibi.
five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.
28
Na hilo taruma la katikati, lililo katikati ya zile mbao litapenya toka mwisho huu hata mwisho huu.
The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other.
29
Na hizo mbao utazifunika dhahabu, na pete zake za kutilia yale mataruma utazifanya za dhahabu; na hayo mataruma utayafunika dhahabu.
Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
30
Nawe utaisimamisha hiyo maskani sawasawa na mfano wake ulioonyeshwa mlimani.
So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.
31
Nawe fanya pazia la nyuzi za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu, na nguo za kitani nzuri zenye kusokotwa, litafumwa na kutiwa makerubi, kazi ya fundi stadi;
Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.
32
kisha litungike katika nguzo nne za mti wa mshita zilizofunikwa dhahabu, vifungo vyake vitakuwa vya dhahabu, katika matako ya fedha manne.
Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.
33
Nawe tungika lile pazia chini ya vile vifungo, nawe lete lile sanduku la ushuhuda na kulitia humo nyuma ya pazia; na lile pazia litawagawanyia kati ya patakatifu, na mahali patakatifu sana.
And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
34
Nawe utaweka kiti cha rehema juu ya lile sanduku la ushuhuda ndani ya mahali pale patakatifu sana.
Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.
35
Na ile meza utaiweka nje ya pazia, na kinara cha taa kuikabili ile meza upande wa maskani wa kuelekea kusini; na ile meza utaiweka upande wa kaskazini.
And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.
36
Kisha utafanya kisitiri kwa mlango wa Hema, cha nyuzi za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu, na kitani nzuri yenye kusokotwa, kazi ya mshona taraza.
For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.
37
Nawe fanya nguzo tano za mti wa mshita kwa kile kisitiri, na kuzifunika dhahabu; kulabu zake zitakuwa za dhahabu; nawe utasubu matako ya shaba matano kwa ajili yake. </p>
Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold, use hooks of gold, and cast five bronze bases for them.
